Reply to when people ask for restaurant recs in the heights, it's always the same short list of non hispanic food. does hispanic food suck there? by icecreammanjc

Nah I think this sub is just predominantly populated by non adventurous whites people lol. The vast majority of restaurants in the Heights are Hispanic. Noches de Colombia is a good start for sit down food. Torta Truck is good for fast/casual. Just go up and down Central, every other storefront is a restaurant.

Reply to Landlord ran a credit check post rejection by DietMediocre8993

Like others have said it’s entirely possible they ran the credit before rejecting you and it’s just a coincidence that you were notified after you received the rejection. They checked your credit just like any landlord would but regardless of how good your score is you were trespassing so that’s the reason they gave for the rejection. Nothing illegal here. Sorry

Yes I use the bus to get around the city and to NYC. I live a block from Central where the 119 stops on every block so it’s just the easiest means of transportation. I do most of my shopping and errands on Central as well so I mostly walk around unless the weather isn’t great. Taking the path adds another step since I don’t live within walking distance.

I don’t use it to commute because I mostly work from home. I do use it to get to and from the city for social outings more then once a week, to go to the gym and sometimes to get around the neighborhood if the weather is bad. I take the bus all times of day depending on what I’m doing. Like the other comment said I’m not so sure anyone in the Heights has to walk 15 minutes to the bus. Besides the 119 there’s a bunch of other routes and stops all over.

The biggest issue I would say is the frequency of buses. During non peak hours the 119 is hourly which can be difficult. Yesterday actually, I was trying to catch the bus to the city around 1 and they just weren’t coming. The NJ Transit app would say a bus is coming at a certain time and then as it got closer to that time the bus vanished from the schedule. It happened twice so I just took a different route to journal square path.

Reply to Produce in the heights by The_Palmerfan

The little produce shops on Central are great. Check a few out. They each have slightly different stock. I personally like Lucky Farms. It’s small but they have great variety and produce. Decent dry food selection as well.

Reply to Anyone hearing constant loud car engine sound at night? by sanderling_app

From what I can tell car culture like that has a decent scene in this area. I live in the Heights and I hear it a lot. Some of them meet up nearby my apartment. They’re not always racing (not enough room) but showing off how fast the car can be. Annoying either way though. Not sure much can be done about it.

At no point did I imply in this thread she didn’t break the law. She obviously did. Her charges have nothing to do with the crash itself because she wasn’t at fault. Cyclist ran a red light that’s just a fact. The crime she committed was never even stopping to check if the guy is okay.

Reply to Late Night Travel by mousebunnyduck

Get the PATH app so you can plan ahead. Ultimately PATH is a commuter rail so late night and weekend service isn’t as frequent. Ride share apps will take you back to JC it’ll probably be at least $50. The bus is always an option if you have a route close to you.
